The animal production sector in the Mediterranean, as in other areas but with specific characteristics has to face new challenges related to environment, productivity and social issues. By considering the hypothesis that more and urgent innovation is needed, to solve the complexity of these problems, the organization, activities and production of some permanent networks of Cooperative Research in Animal Production are described and their possible role in these process are discussed. It would mean that these networks could involve cooperating scientists from several disciplines and other “actors”. The development of networking would be probably a major stake to enlarge a more strategic and open approach of the questions to answer. The present disciplinary organization, the real involvement of a variety of actors, their impact on innovation and some suggestions for their evolution are analyzed to outline the difficulties existing to change the situation.
